GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE
Butter does more for a grilled cheese than just browning the bread. Using cultured butter, one made with fermented cream, can add depth and a touch of sweet and tangy richness, thereby elevating the sandwich to new heights.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.
- Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
- Place 2 sandwiches into a nonstick medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, spinach and scant 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute until the spinach has completely wilted. Transfer the spinach to a strainer set over a bowl. Cool to room temperature. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Roughly chop the spinach and add it to a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Lay the sliced bread on a clean work surface. Coat the top of each slice with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lay 4 of the slices in the skillet, butter-side down. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture onto each slice. Spread the mixture evenly to cover the whole slice, then top with the other slices of bread, butter-side up. Cook until the first side is golden and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melty, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the sandwiches to a clean work surface and let them cool for 1 minute before slicing.
Tips:
- Use high-quality bread. The type of bread you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a sturdy bread that will hold up well to the grilling process, such as sourdough, French bread, or whole wheat bread.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your grilled cheese sandwich will be. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh spinach, and high-quality cheese.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches. Try different types of bread, cheese, and toppings to find your favorite combination.
- Cook the sandwich slowly and carefully. Grilled cheese sandwiches are best cooked slowly over low heat. This will help the cheese to melt evenly and the bread to toast perfectly.
- Serve immediately. Grilled cheese sandwiches are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the cheese is still melted and the bread is still crispy.
Conclusion:
Grilled cheese sandwiches are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are quick and easy to make, and they can be customized to suit your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time. Enjoy your grilled cheese journey!
